Enhancing binding affinity and selectivity through preorganization and cooperative enhancement of the receptor

Abstract

When direct host–guest binding interactions are weakened by unfavorable solvent competition, guest-triggered intrareceptor interactions could be used to augment the binding. This strategy of cooperative enhancement, when combined with the principle of preorganization, yielded a strong and selective receptor for binding citrate in water.
